I am not 34 weeks yet but I had an u/s done at 31 weeks and my little one is measuring the same as yours. I have a chubby baby on my hands weighing in at 5lbs. 4oz. at 31 weeks. I will not get another u/s until 37 weeks to check the baby's size again.

I go next thursday for a 34 wk u/s so ill keep you posted but you seem like you are right on track from the emails we get from this site!

my son was measuring 4 lbs 12 oz at his 31 wk u/s and the doctor said that is BIG so that is why she is making me do another one at 34 wks to make sure so lets see if he continuted his chunky growth or not, good luck and you only have 6 wks (or so :) )

I had an ultrasound done at 28 weeks and my baby weighed 3 pounds. I am 30 weeks now and my doctor said my next ultrasound will be at 36 weeks. My friend just had her baby at 36 weeks so that makes me nervous. Is anyone else not getting any ultrasounds done?

I dont think they "usually" do a bunch of u/s at ends, i know a lot of my friends havent gotten them. I had the one at 31 weeks but his head was large and he was measuring really big all around so my dr is making me go to the hospital to double check her measurements and make sure, because if he stayed on this track he is going to be like high 9's or 10's! but my bf was over 10 so it may just be genetic.. (oh joy rite? lol) but i heard they dont usually do another one usually til 36 or 37 weeks so i think thats pretty normal? :)

They usually only do 4 ultrasounds total (my experience anyways), but if at the end they think the baby is growing to much or not enough I think they will do a couple more to prepare for a C-section. I think a lot of doctors say different things about the weight of the baby cuz my doctor said my lil guy was just fine but another doctor may think different... who knows! As long as he is healthy thats all that matters.

I just went in today for (I think) my last ultrasound. I'm 33 weeks and my baby is 5lbs 1oz. My jaw about hit the floor (even though it was 3lbs 6oz 3 weeks ago, so that number pretty much makes sense)! Seems like if this kid keeps growing 1/2lb a week I'm going to have a much bigger baby that I was hoping for...

I had mine today! My boy is 5 1/2 lbs! They said the only thing they are slightly concerned about is that I have too much amniotic fluid, so they will be keeping an eye on that! Other than that we're fine! I can't believe he's so big and we still got so long to go! Good luck to ya!

My doctor's office didn't mention another ultrasound. I am 31 weeks now and the last time I was there they set up the next appt at four weeks instead of two like I thought they would. So I wont be seen again until I am 33 weeks and that is also just a regular appt. Should I be concerned that I'm not getting another ultrasound or being seen sooner when I am getting closer to the due date? I don't have to many issues with my pregnancy other then hypothyroidism and low iron levels but those are watched by my primary.

One doctor told me less is more in pregnancy when it comes to seeing the doctor. I have low platelets (cant spell it), so I have been going every two weeks to check on my blood, but before that it was every four weeks, so I think you're good. Im sure around 35-36 weeks youll go every two weeks or once a week if youre having problems.

I've been surprised by how many ultrasounds some people have been getting. I had one at 6 weeks (to estimate age of pregnancy), and an anatomical scan at 18 weeks. I paid for a private ultrasound at 20 weeks b/c I wanted to get a second opinion on gender (happily, they agreed: both said "girl"!). Then I had one that was literally like 1-minute in length, yesterday, b/c the doctor was trying to tell if the baby had shifted out of breech/transverse position (she is now head down!). But no one has offered me an ultrasound to determine baby size, so I have no idea about weight. They just measure externally, and say "right on track for XX weeks." And they mentioned that at my next appt., the 36 wk appt, that there would be an internal exam for some strep or other culture? But not a mention of an ultrasound. I wish they would do a real one, but I guess it just isn't considered medically necessary since I have (thankfully) had an event-free pregnancy?

APLive a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. - Marcus Aurelius
